How to Make Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
4. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 ripe mashed bananas (about 1 cup), 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until well combined and smooth.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Stir in 1 1/2 cups rolled oats and 2 cups chocolate chips.
8. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
9. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
